FIRST of all, i am so not inferring the tortoise-like speed drivers to senior citizens. I mean, I am not that harsh and inconsiderate. Senior citizens...really ought to be given a break, while i am it, equally forgiven are 'expired' cars, rotten, bumper terlondeh, you get the idea what i am talking about ...cars with bad conditions. I mean, you can/should also give those conditions a break.
HOWEVER, those so-called cautious, good, traffics abiding drivers with 30km/h speedometer or less really ticks me off!
SURE, there are times when you just want to have a relax drive..but that can be done if you're on a countryside, travelling down a road while at the same time try taking in the scenic landscapes, with air brushing your face, your gf/bf/scandals by your side..you know like in the movies!
BUT, on a one/two lane route? Realllllllly pisses me off man. Macam #*^#*^_(@*. Today (yesterday) i guess was my unlucky day. I've encountered a few of this jack-asses..two while on my way to class, of which both cars were considerably new cars (judging from the exterior of the car and license plate) one was Proton Wira and the other was Myvi with the former man driver! And while i was on my way back home, one super-dimwit ass drove brought the traffic to a halt on a one lane downhill route!!! THAT WAS PRETTY DANGEROUS man. MEmang babi gila orang tu...almost causing accidents.
Memang ultimate pu&*#&* when i see this kind of road users! NOT only they are fully aware of their driving speed, i reckon they enjoy it with no remorse nor considerations to at least give way to people to overtake them!
KALAU kau iyapun tengah blowjob/beromen/menggelitit dalam tu pun, ketepi la kan kereta tu. give way. I say this, because it's night man, you cant be saying 'no, i am enjoying the scenary' Fuck it, it was really dark. (NOTE: puncak alam route) Nor was the route sandwiched with beautiful mountains, colorful trees on the roadside ke hapa.. There are people who have serious matters, demanding business to get to (like i was, was effin late to class).
DO they realised by driving too slow, they are also endangering other road users? It's equally dangerous to drive to fuckin slow as with too fuckin fast.
OF COURSE i am no way condoning any speed above the speed limit..i mean that's really asking for accidents..contributing to death statistics. BUT come on, driving like a pea-minded tortoise is not helping others as well.
AS SUCH, these people ought to be penalized equally as those fast drivers!
AM reminded by one FRIENDS episodes where Ross got to drive his dad's porche, and in trying to impress Rachel for a drive out in the convertible he ended up only to reveal his real driving skills to Rachel...which was none! Rachel to Ross, "Have you ever heard fifth gear?". Ross ended up got a ticket for driving too slow in a highway and thinking back, i think that law should be made legal here in Malaysia .

Gone Too Soon..
Above: In his heyday, some of the early images of his newly constructed nose before it went all...umm runnySO he came in 1997. and it was hugggge coverage..everybody in the country went beserk for him. and i remembered my eldest sis telling us the stadium was a sold-out but what was interesting for her she said, of how many Indian fans of MJ in KL that came and dressed like the star, with studded white glove in one hand..his worldly trademark.
I finally had my break. During the new year eve of 1999, in Quality Hotel KL, i had MY closest 'encounter' with the 'star' himself...performing...the ballroom's light was dimmed when 'he' made his entrance...singing.."billie jean". The crowd went crazzzzyy...NOT! I was at the back of the room at that time and couldnt really see 'him' ...there was a huge fuss in the room, giggles too..and then i saw 'him'. OK..so it was not the real MJ! He was not the second best thing even! It was more like extremely super low branded copy of MJ, with skinny frail, protruding belly, very dark skin (i could only see his teeth's reflection under the low lights) and, and, BIG CURLY PONY TAILED WIG...what a.....NIGHTMARE. TO add more insult, he couldnt even do the moonwalk right..what an embarrasing impersonation of the mega star...
Above: Pretty close to the character that just made my new year celeb in 1999 a nightmare..
Now that white glove with the rest of his personal items goes under the hammer for auction (or have been sold). The white glove was put on Ebay at a starting bidding price of $388,000! AND...who is now the proud owner of one of that many white gloves of MJs? His name is Tracy Morgan one of the many Hollywood's has been.
Above: AND...here it is, when he started to make his face look scarily aging look alike to Diana Ross. What were you thinking MJ really...sadd.HIS songs were all good to hear, that i have many favourites, as with millions out there..BUT some of my fav definitely GHOST, REMEMBER THE TIME, WHO IS IT, MAN IN THE MIRROR, BLACK&WHITE, IN THE CLOSET, ABC, JAM, SCREAM, BEN, DIRTY DIANA....many more....:) I remembered when i had newly bought his last album, i tried to listen to it in my dad's car (it ws the tape version, cant afford CD player back then) my father would asked me to STOP the tape after a few tracks...he said, "Tah apa tah nyanyi, asik ah ah ooh ohh tersedu-sedu jek!" He was commenting on MJs style of singing and lamented it ws not a good performance as you couldnt understand his lyrics, too much drama with the 'aaah', 'oooh'...THAT comment disappointed me. I remembered upon hearing the later remarks from my dad that discouraged me to listen to any MJ songs in his car; i pulled a sulking face! boohoo...DAD didnt approved my choice of songs. I defended to dad, "AYAH, INI MJ we're talking. King of POP!", daddy wasnt amused!
Time passed...and now the KING's Dead..and he indeed gone too soon...in June 2009, the world was shocked by his passing. His death are still mourned by many, including I. I could vividly recall that very morning a friend, Lyza Razak texted me, "MJ's DEAD babe!!!" It was quite early in the morning around 7am..the weather was drizzling, so there was this melancholic settings around me, almost like in agreement to the passing of the King. SADNESS. NUMBNESS. I was still in my confinement period back then, and remembered sharing the news with the rest of my family, all of us was GLUED to tv/internet for updates...
Above: His daughter, Paris and family members, said goodbye during the live broadcasted memorial service. ..Paris,"eversince i was born, daddy has been the best father you can imagined, and i just wanted to say that i love him...so much.."
MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON is dead..and there will be no one, even close to, that can even compares with him! no one can be compared with him! RIP MJ. Always missed. and may justice be served to whoever did involve in causing his death. Dr. Conrad Murray pleaded not guilty and much anticipated trial sets this 28 march. If convicted Murray faces maximum of 4 years in prison..PS: i wrote this thread in memory of the King, simply because...i wnt to! hell it is my blog..bluergh. nah, i ws listening to his songs/videos..MJs accompanying me throughout the late night studies since..last week. :)

When the earth beneath you......moves & tsunamis rolling in.
Salam.
For two days, the whole world has its focus on Japan. Specifically, near Honshu, miyagi prefecture area. Now, that area was rippled with a fierceful force recorded at 8.9 magnitude and has so far took about 1,500 lives while an estimated 9,500 lives are missing.
2. Although Japan is no stranger to encountering and overcoming natural disasters such as tsunami (the name itself is derived from nihongo) and earthquakes (as the country's geographically sits on the pasific rings of fire); this quake deemed to be the worst that nihon ever seen in 110 years.
3. NOW, if this were to hit other places, no doubt my sympathy goes out the residents affected. However, since this is japan, nihon, nippon..we're talking, now that really make it a different picture for me. It bares more emotional baggage to me, almost like it is my home affected. Ah, but wait. Nihon does feel like a second home. For years i have been fascinated by its culture, language, food and scenic places; it is THE first foreign country i ever stayed in long enough to be called as second home ( i know there are many more out there that have years of experience in japan that may debate about the how justified is a particular period of time to be considered "long enough'..but hey this is my blog is it not?)
Above: Chiaky & Megumi- very nice and friendly almost like a sister to me..younger sister of course. :)
4. And because of that, anything that relates to Japan, i am more interested to learn more although that experince of having walked the soil of Tokyo and its surrounding was 5 years ago and the memories (most) starting to fades.
Above: 7-11 near my dorm. Without a doubt, the most frequently visited konbini (convenient store) of mine with usual take-outs such as onigiri, pokka coffee, sembe, and the daikon-heaven.
5. SO, with this incident, i can't help but to feel i wanted to know more of its updates since there are friends, acquintances, people that i have crossed paths while i was there (2004-2005) and probably could be affected.
6. While i was there, i have experienced earthquakes or as the japanese called it 'jishin'. Most poignant was in particular, around October 2004 when a big earthquakes of Niigata's 7.2 magnitude. I could still recall the day i first felt the tremors of an earthquake. It was around 5pm, and Rina (roomate) and i was lazying our room. Most of us (the foreign students were lazying around ;p ) when it hit us.
Above: Just behind that rainbow painted building, is the dorm speficially for foreign BGU students (what privileged really, clean, roomy, fully-equiped & facilitated). And my room was on the second floor (only room number two's window is visible here) FIY, this was the view taken from our class on 5ft floor in BGU (walking distance to the dorm, very convenient)
7. The books fell off our shelves, and i could feel the sensation as if someone was shaking the whole house. All of us (first timers at quakes) ran like mad, panicking literally; and one friend Erick Peterson (the funny one) was screaming "earthquakes people". He was our warning system.
8. Let me tell you, the experience was scary. The tremors wasn't that bad (as we later found out according to japanese standards)-4.5 magnitude, and this was the reading where i was staying which was in Hongo, Tokyo (quite far from the epicentre).
9. I remembered, my heart was racing as i was running down the stairs, my mind was having this flashes of memory of the faces of my family and people that i care for (you know the typical thing they say when you feel like you're life about to end and your whole life flashes back in front of your eyes). I thought then, 'oh no, I don't want to die in Japan this way'.
10. The funny thing about that, after what seems like a longggg minutes (but in actual fact, the tremor was less than 2 minutes); all of us were standing in the dorm's courtyard and just to be giggled afterwards by our very concern sensei that came to check us out.
10. WHY i say giggled? Because to the nihonjin (japanese) anything below 5 magnitude is a harmless shake baby! 5.0 - 6.5 considered MILD and anything above can be dangerous. AND rule of the thumb to them: they DON'T PANIC, RUN and SCREAM (of course under serious circumstance these rules does not apply! ;p)
11. That exactly explains why there is one old woman or the japanese called 'obasan' literally means aunty; was still very calmly walking her dog when the earth was shaking!!!!!! AND many just continue doing what they're doing with no real panic surge in them i.e. cycling although in a wobbly manner etc. LIFE for the nihonin is NORMAL anytime below 5.0 magnitude quake occur!
12. NOW, fast-forward, the Honshu quake. I could only imagine how devastating it must have been and learning from friends in Tokyo, though there was no tsunamis, but the shake was pretty scary. And if the japanese says SCARY, you bet your socks it is HELLA SCARY incident!! Nothing compared with midget tremors of what the folks in Putrajaya, KL have been fussing about some time ago when some quakes triggered in Indonesia, and some parts of southern Malaysia felt the aftershocks. (typical Malaysian always dramatic! ;p. having said that, our building aren't quake-proof so yeah, we can tolerate the fuss)
13. NOW being the ignorant me, i was never the kind of person who would keep in touch with everyone; but that doesn't mean that i have forgotten about them. I mean, every veins in me wanted to be that super-nice person that keeps in touch with friends and people who have been a great help/cheered up my life be it a brief moment; but i was never abled to be as such. I don't know why. BUT i do know that i REGRET it now.
14. In relation to this incident, i could only wonder the well-beings of those friendly faces that has touched my life during that splendid times i spent in Tokyo. Just left wondering how they are, because except a few namely Sufi Norhany, Mohd Zulhairy, Tomoko Negishi, Yumiko Hakoshima, Kazue Namai, Susan Branz, Lisa Onodera; the rest have no/frozen/terminated FB account to give updates about themselves.
Above: Miki and Moko Chan. The inseparable best friends and very wacky, over-the-top nicest people i have ever met. i miss you guys and good to know you guys are safe. p/s: Wish i can have a meeting soon with you guys just as Rina had, lucky her...demo, okane ga chotto arimasu hehe..
15. I wonder how are my foster family the Ito are doing. Terumi and her sisters, okasan to onisan, daijoubo kana? I wonder about another friendly face Fumiye Hosozawa who lives in Chiba. I wonder about the wonderful 12 girls - juniors of Bunkyo Gakuin University who attended that wonderful 2 weeks of English camp in Karuizawa.
Above: When i think of Teru chan, i am reminded with Boyz 2 Men..as she is one huge fans of the quartet. Teru chan, i hope you are ok over there..
16. I wonder if the ever so kind, Nukada San, the dorm's janitor, was affected by the quakes? Ah, Nukada San, deep in me i ache to see his face again. Although we could never converse in a humanly manner either in Japanese or English ( as he was not proficient in Eigo just as i was not proficient in Nihongo); there was this sense of warmth in him that i ever so miss, almost in a fatherly/grandfatherly love manner. Heck, he filled in the void in me when i was missing home so bad on my birthyday; he cheered me up by treating me and Rina tempura dinner that he claimed he'd cooked, he was the one who would buy the delicious onigiri (rice cake) of many varieties i.e. salmon,crab,egg for breakfast... I really hope he is still alive and well and wish i could see him again..someday.
Above: With the Nukada San....almost teared up when i write about him in the previous paragraphs. I really hope you are doing fine. May Allah keeps you safe.
17. My thoughts are with them and there has never been a single day in my life since i touched down in Narita that i have forgotten the wonderful experiences i had in the country of the rising sun. Nihon gambaraou ne!!!!

Laughter's the best medicine or so they say.......
salam.
Comedy always had this magnetic affect on me eversince i can remember. you know, i'm of one of those softies with a 'ticklish' heart (is there really such a thing? :p)..and such, funny, wacky, comic people will surely get my attention. they seem to clicked that 'button' for ease. So much so, over the years, funny guy always have the easy way to interests me, captivates me..and i absolutely adore the sights of Adam Sandler, Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell..(just to name a few) and Saturday Night Live (SNLs), FRIENDS are some of my all-time favorite shows
.
(above) Jimmy Fallon, one of the many person i would want to meet..after Keanu Charles Reeves and Takuya Kimura (also previously wish to date-list..haha yes dreamy i know)
BUT, this is real life is it not? More often than not, we don't end up having the things we would love to have. Funny, humorous guy was never the characterictics in my husband. it's like he almost have no comic bone, cells,veins in him. OK. i am painting an injustice picture of him of being this dead-super-serious guy aren't i? mami aisheteiru you still ayah..;p
To set the record straight en suami do have his fair shair being a comic himself. I would call his sense of humor more like the Brits they say, that have this dry-like comedy sense and when they make a joke, they don't make that face at all. like very stone almost, dead but dead funny..well, en suami does have his humorous days once in awhile.
POINT i am making, yes i fancy comedian, but not just any comedian. I can't tolerate "low" type of jokes such to say on farts,races,disgusting stuffs i.e. poos, though have to admit, those things can really trigger some laughs easily, anytime. OK, so just a few drops of those in a joke should be alright i guess, BUT if the whole skits consist of poos, farts, and you the audience finds that funny, then there must be some serious problems with that audience.
WITH that, i am making reference to the on-going local comedian talent show called 'RAJA LAWAK'. the show is now in its fifth season (congrats) meaning, despite critics it survived all those years and now on the semi-final weeks (i guess).
OVERALL, i personally think it is a good show. I mean , you can't expect to get wonders like Sandler, Fallon, Ferrell type of stand-up comedian in its finalists. Even those people mentioned didn't start up and become great and discovered instantly. having said that, making jokes is not easy to do. and making it on a weekly basis, in front of live audience is even harder, one can only imagined. even worst when the crowd doesnt appreciate your work and they're not responding to your jokes. that'd....surely hurts. SO in that light, kudos to the finalists.
(Above) Balas: They often take the character name of Tom and Jerry. Tom being the skinny guy on the left and Jerry, the one's in stripey shirt. Their skits if in this character is often with wicked, twisted manglish style lingo. Funny as hell. I personally dig the stripey because he's just wacko!!!!

SO in that light, kudos to the finalists.
SO, who are my favorites? Personally, I like the duo from Penang, the solo MAN..the rest to me are just so-so. WHO would i root to be the winner? MAN. simply because he is a solo, and he is talented that is to say, he had been coming up with new character every week rather than the former that undeniably have excellent chemistry between the two and do cracked some wicked jokes. HOWEVER, that particular duo, i reckon will be a hit after the shows. They'll surely get jobs easily because of their 'slamber' approach to comedy and very au naturally ..funny! gosh, i love them all really. can they have two winners this year??

ANYWAYS, they say laughter is the best medicine; when you're happy, one wrinkle less in the face; or always smile puts off the sadness away. Skeptics or believers; scientifically the saying about 'laughter being the best medicine' has been proven to be true. So much so, the professionals have come up with a laugh therapy that to be said effective in combating diseases:
"Laughing is found to lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones, increase muscle flexion, and boost immune function by raising levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma-interferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies. Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and produces a general sense of well-being."
As for the concern that laughter can put give away wrinkles, i guess you can take the look at those happy faces in tv life like Aznil Hj Nawawi, who clearly has always been this jovial individual, almost like on prozac-constantly smiling and happy it seems..and look at his face. it is almost like he doesnt age much and still look as young as he was when he first started his career back in the 80s (i know so and can still vividly recall one centerspread magazine photoshot of him standing beside a car that my sister had cut-out and paste on her inner cupboard walls! because he was so cute, she said)
(above) yours truly at the age of 7. evidence of that so-called weird-funny face pose. (^-^)

TRIVIA: i used to pose (and still sometimes do even today..) with very weird, almost not-sensible, cartoony look whenever i get my picture snap eversince i just a kid because i don't know how to smile and thus figured if i make funny faces people won't notice that i am not good looking and would think "hey look at her she's cute, funny & happy kid"...yeah...i am a comic to myself..
